If they announce Battletoads sequel I'd literally jump out of my chair in excitement xD

Fstrike

@theharribokid: I'd like to see how they would pull that off. Retro style like Bionic commando rearmed?

Gunloc

I saw "Rare" and my brain immediately read Googly Eyed as "GoldenEye" and I got all excited.

Jerkfish

Conker and Kameo need sequels. KI is best left in our memories.

HaydenTenno

Can we get another Conker game already? I wanna see my favorite squirrel in spoofs of games like GoW and Halo. BRINK CONKER BACK!!!

BATTLETOADS SEQUEL!
BWAHM!

aeonpulse

I'm so close to buying an original KI/KI2 arcade machine because I'm having withdrawals.

@GoGoGodzilla: lol he knows it

Fingers crossed for a Battletoads sequel...

@P3nnst8r has returned on the Graces of Brian Ashcraft:

Same here I have been wanting another KI game since KI 2. To this day I regret selling my n64 and KI Gold. While I can purchase them all over again at this moment in time it would be more convenient for them to be on the 360. For now I must be patient and wait to see what may be coming ahead in the new future.

Stevetrop

I used to be a die hard Rare fanatic. I can't stand anything they've released since the N64 though.

dowingba

I'd kill for another Killer Instinct.

P3nnst8r has returned on the Graces of Brian Ashcraft

Rare, huh? I remember them back in the day...made Wizards and Warriors and a couple of pinball games for the ol' NES...Wonder what they've been up to? ^_^

relic1980

Perfect Dark DS...please?

@Grumpz®: Wrong studio. Blizzard developed Rock N' Roll Racing, not Rare. However, I too would love to see an updated version of that title.

JustThisGuy

A new Killer Instincs and Perfect Dark 2 would be great. Also a new Battle Toads game but for XBLA.

BlackIceJoe

How about Rock 'n Roll Racing?

Grumpz®

I'd still be most excited about another stab at Perfect Dark. Despite it's problems, I LOVE PDZ. The DarkOps play is great with friends. I love the controls, the rolling instead of jumping, etc.

Also, it was the first game of the generation to have cover, take out bunny hopping, Live co-op, and co-op specific gameplay (that's all the rage now). I really dug the controls, but seeing characters spawn (I've only found a few blatant spawn points, but the x-ray vision kinda makes that stuff hard to hide) and that old-school memorize locations style gameplay has got to go.

Hell, plenty of critically acclaimed games have those same sins. I got really tired of COD4's campaign on Vet after realizing it was a Rainbow Six-esque exercise in memorizing enemy positions, spawns, trigger points, etc.

So yeah, lots of people hated PDZ, but I'd love to see another stab at that franchise. Given the time to polish everything, get it all right, I think it could be amazing.

GorbyGipper

Considering the fact that Rare did/is develope the whole Avatar system, it could be the first game that uses those googly eyed characters?

Monkeydud137

Since both Killer Instinct games were produced by Nintendo, I doubt Rare own the rights to the characters. However, if the game is for Wii, I'd be all kinds of excited!

Still, an HD Killer Instinct would look insane!

Bonus-Round

@DARTH_TIGRIS: Banjo a milkie?You sir can go milk yourself.

Monkeydud137

I want NEW IP's. Rare was a creative force back in the N64 days, introducing all kinds of new IP's. We have Kameo and Viva Pinata this gen, complemented by Banjo and Perfect Dark for milkies. I just imagine they have more original ideas than just trying to do Killer Instinct and Conker again ...

DARTH_TIGRIS

@JustThisGuy: On further research, there actually was a sequel to RRR. It was called Red Asphalt in the States, only gaining the Rock and Roll Racing 2 moniker over on the Continent. It was developed internally by Interplay, and it apparently fell somewhere between fair and middling.

@Gunloc: I must say, I know nothing on the matter of the Bionic commando series, but Damn straight in a retro fashion. Like the new Contra 4, familiar yet updated. thoughts?

theharribokid

@Gunloc: Hopefully like this Battletoads movie.

BOO Microsoft from stealing from Rare, I protest this game which should be on all consoles or just on Nintendo Wii. Let RARE become independent instead.
P.S. I know this not the right place to protest, sorry.

zkotaku

Unfortunately all the people that really made them Rare in the N64 days have left. Gone to Zoonami, Free Radical, Sony, or left the industry all together.

We could get another Conker, but all the humour that made the first game great would be gone, replaced by something different. Doesn't mean that it would be better or worse, just different.

Banjo-Kazooie and it's sequel were great, but I hold no hopes for the new game for Xbox 360. Whose trailers and impressions of car building leaves me less then impressed or wanting for what could be platforming gold. Truth be told, someone announcing a new Gex game could excite me just as much.

Now I appreciate they took a big risk with Viva Piñata, and I salute them for that even if it isn't a type of game I want or enjoy or the fact it shows kids about cannibalism (of that it makes everyone else happy and stronger).

Now I would love to see Blast Corps or Jet Force Gemini again, but the truth of the matter is I want this Rare, the Xbox 360 (as it's no longer the N64 Rare I knew and loved), to grow and do more.
A new IP to show off what they can do and bring forth all their talent in something they can call their baby, their master piece, their "Goldeneye" or "Banjo Kazooie".

Kenofthedead

@GorbyGipper: PDZ still is one of my favorites. It was the first game I fired up on my 360, and I spent many many hours playing it. Funny thing is I don't think I ever started the campaign. Good times, great game I don't care what people say.

Mitch Cumstein

Blast Corps. or I won't care Rare... I seriously just won't care...

DaveKap

@zkotaku: Stealing? I thought they paid a lot of money for Rare.

Dirk Dorkelson

I want Perfect Dark, people can say what they want about PD: Zero, but it was not that bad and with the tech that has come out for shooters since then a new PD could be awesome, so that's what I want. Killer Instinct would be cool also, but I want Perfect Dark more. OH and Conker! I want another Conker's Bad Fur Day game badly. Come rare have your greatest line-up ever and announce all 3.

WPack911

Yeah a new PD couldn't hurt. PDZ's online was pretty awesome, but the single player needs some major help. I loved KI hope that it gets another sequel; however, I would rather see Kameo 2 or XBL Goldeneye. I hate Nintendo for being such a stick-in-the-mud. I am glad MS bought rare and kept great games away from those bastards.

H3lloWorld

The present RARE team are mediocre. Honestly, who here is seriously excited for any game coming from that development house. My advise is that if you really excited about their games just wait until the games "enter the bargain bin".

KREEPYKRAWLLY

*crosses fingers for new Rare IP and not Killer Instinct*

r3m1x

@Emiat: that was aweful. It's as bad as fan trailers on you tube.

DataScream

Battletoads and double dragon: killer instinct.

Neverkilled: Live and in technicolor for the first time in history!

Doesn't Rare have two other titles in progress? The old Banjo Kazooie for the xbla and another title for the nintendo ds, correct?

Those are not included in the "other half of rare working on something"?

But if we're gonna wish, I'll wish for a new Conker

JakeDunn

Killer Instinct
Conker
Battletoads

any of those would be amazing

Murderdolls

Ahahah, that Fulgore pic made me laught.

Shiryu

More Perfect Dark? For the love of God NO.

Andronix

I will take a Perfect Dark game that goes back to the classic N64 control scheme.

As much as I hate to say a new KI game wouldn't be soo hot. They should have released it years ago.

FrazTHG

C-c-c-c-combo breakah!

Belabras

Ah that picture cracks me up. As I've said before though, after seeing what they've done to Banjo, I'd rather Rare never touch Killer Instinct again.

Enkur

You mean it takes half of Rare to get Avatars working? :P

My guess would be that they got a secret decree from MS to develop a LBP clone using Avatars. Would fit into their social gaming thing.

kftgr

@Enkur: Preach the truth brother. The people need to hear it for somebody.

stranger

So the other half of Rare's staff are hard at work on a collection of waggle-controlled, Mii-too enabled minigames for 360, then?

stranger

Didn't they say a while ago that they wanted to make a Conker sequel focusing on the Tediz vs. Squirrels?
